Selecting an inspiratory muscle training modality for patients with chronic kidney disease: methodological considerations regarding respiratory and peripheral muscle outcomes

Key takeaways

This is a comment piece about how to study breathing muscle training in people with kidney disease. That training uses a handheld device that makes you work harder to breathe in, to strengthen the muscles you breathe with. The authors argue about how such studies should be designed and what should be measured. No patients were tested here, so there are no results.
